GOTV: Hope is on the way! But there's work to be done...
After that last bummer post of mine, I figured I'd better:
I’d say it’s plain what needs to be done—in many states the polls are already open, even on Saturdays. If there’s a crowd, show up with goodies, raise hell about lines, drive a van, follow up with phone calls…
It may be the only way to beat the idiotocracy—um, I mean, the “rationally challenged.”
Tomorrow I guess I have to visit Dem HQ again, and see if there are more names and what else can be done.
Democrats Signing Up More New Voters
By ROBERT TANNER, AP National Writer
The Democrats appear to be gaining the upper hand in the battle to sign up new voters in the all-important swing states, an Associated Press analysis suggests…
Now, the real test is whether the parties can get these newly registered voters to the polls. New voters are often less likely than others to actually cast a ballot.
"It's the end-all, be-all. Nothing matters unless they show up to vote," said Mindy Tucker Fletcher with the Florida GOP. With 2000 as a warning and the latest polls showing this election very close in eight critical states, the latest registration numbers could be pivotal.
